ok, I've seen other chords tabs for this song, and they don't sound right to me. So, 
the beginning tab (which you can find on other tabs which are good). These are the chords, 
makes up the jist of the song. This Is My Favourite Band, So I'll Try My Best.


[Verse 1]


Keep you in th

e dark
              
You know they 

      
all pretend

Keep you in th

e dark
             
And so it all 

  
began

Play the chords at the same time as the bass drum beats.


Send in your s

keletons
            
Sing as their 

              
bones come mar

           
ching in... ag

ain

They need you 

buried deep
            
The secrets th

            
at you keep ar

e at the ready

Are you ready?

I'm finished m

aking sense

Done pleading 

ignorance
             
That whole... 


defense

(Now start strumming up & down normally)


Spinning infin

ity, boy

The wheel is s

pinning me
             
It's never-end

     
ing, never-end

ing
          
Same old story


[Chorus]


What if I say 

I'm not like t

he others?
              
What if I say 

              
I'm not just a

       
nother one of 

your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say 

I will never s

urrender?


What if I say 

I'm not like t

he others?
              
What if I say

nother one of 

your plays

You're the pretender

What if I say

(Go Back To Bass Drum Strumming)


[Verse 2]


In time or so 

I'm told

le... oh, well
